Favorites to win

Central Sparks

The sides have clashed one time before where Northern Diamonds won the game by 3 runs. Northern Diamonds did better than the latter last year. But they have lost both their games so far. They have a sound bowling order but the batters lack consistency and produced underwhelming performances in both the games. Whereas Central Sparks are doing extremely well and are placed atop the standings. That said, Central Sparks will go in as match favourites.
